Evidence of Technical Accomplishments

·         SIPFIS: While at Georgia Tech, Dr. Odman developed the Southern Integrated Prescribed Fire Information System (SIPFIS) to merge prescribed fire, air quality and impacts data into a common information and analysis framework. The system was designed with the following specifications in mind: 1) systematic collection and processing of information from different sources; 2) provision of datasets necessary to complete analyses of prescribed fire impacts on air quality, human exposure and health; 3) open access to all data, modeling tools and study results. The system comprises unique layers of information on a common spatial domain extending over the southern U.S. The unified record of prescribed burning is an integral component of the framework, providing multi-year data describing fire occurrence and characteristics. Air quality data includes observations from monitoring networks and model-generated concentration fields. Smoke impacts estimated by modeling and statistical analyses are mapped as another layer. Population data at the resolution of census tracts, including population density and demographic and socioeconomic data, are used to quantify smoke exposure and health impacts as a separate layer of information specifically related to prescribed fire. A web-based application (https://sipc.ce.gatech.edu/SIPFIS/map/) provides user-friendly access to all data and analyses, including smoke impacts, exposure and health impacts.

·         HiRes/HiRes2/HiRes-X: While at Georgia Tech, Dr. Odman initiated the development of an Eulerian grid based modeling system for operational air quality forecasting. The initial system, HiRes, focused on Georgia’s air quality forecasting ozone and fine particulate matter concentrations 48-hours ahead twice a day. HiRes is still operational today (http://forecast.ce.gatech.edu). A second system, HiRes2, extended the modeling domain to southeastern US and the forecast to 72 hours. In addition to air quality, this system predicts the contributions of traffic, power plant, and prescribed fire emissions to air quality (https://forecast.ce.gatech.edu). This feature facilitates dynamic management of emission sources when an excedence of air quality standards is imminent. A third system, HiResX, utilizing Earth observations to facilitate health protection and ecosystem management is still under development.

·         CMAQ-DDM/HDDM: While at Georgia Tech, Dr. Odman made significant contributions to the implementation of the Decoupled Direct Method (DDM) for sensitivity analysis and its inforporation into the Community Multiscale Air Quality model (CMAQ). DDM and its high-order version (HDDM) are widely used for emission source apportionment and emission control strategy development by the air quality research and application communities.

·         AG-CMAQ: While working at Georgia Tech, Dr. Odman developed an adaptive grid version of the Community Multiscale Air Quality Model (CMAQ). This version dynamically adapts the grid of CMAQ to various plumes as they are forming and evolving in the atmosphere. The dynamics and chemistry of plumes are better resolved due to grid refinements. The grid dependent portions of the CMAQ code were completely rewritten and many other portions were revised to accommodate the adaptive grid refinements. The model was applied to the resolution of power plant and fire plumes as well as to specific pollutant sources such as highways, airports and sea ports.

·         MAQSIP: While working at MCNC, Dr. Odman was a primary developer of the Multiscale Air Quality SImulation Platform (MAQSIP). MAQSIP is the air quality component of an advanced decision support framework (the Environmental Decision Support System, EDSS) developed at MCNC under a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's National Exposure Research Laboratory (NERL), to assist both scientists and environmental policy-makers. MAQSIP is a fully modularized three-dimensional system with various options for representing the physical and chemical processes describing regional- and urban-scale atmospheric pollution (http://www.emc.mcnc.org/products/maqsip).

·         URM: While a student at Carnegie Mellon University and, later, while at Georgia Tech, Dr. Odman was a primary developer of the Urban to Regional Multiscale (URM) model. URM is a multiscale, multipollutant (ozone, PM, and acid deposition) air quality model with unique features such as flexible grids and direct sensitivity analysis. URM is being used as a research tool at Georgia Tech as well as other institutions including academia and industry both in the U.S. and abroad.
